HE frst spring fashions have arrived, and alrendy I Jave been asked to advise about new sulis, coats and frocks.
But to-day I am not going to talk about design, but about colour.
I've seen too many disappointments which have been due to wrong colour choice and that alone.
The lovelient frock will pass unnoticed if the wearer has not sufficiently considered her own colouring and that of her background. The latter. I'm afraid, is most often for- gotten. Yet it is very important.
That frock looked almply lovely in the shop, but it was bought without thought being given to the surroundings in which it would be worn
Pastel Shades or Vivid Hues
Some colours look better than others under artificial light, and It is in the afternoons and evenings, when you are enjoying a well- earned leisure after a busy day, that you want particularly to look your best.
For instance, if i go into a grey room with fucksin or magenta colourings, I wilt immediately, because there shades are not for me, although they sult a number of sliter wamen. For the golden blonde or white-haired waman there are no more lovely colourings, Let us take the blonde first who has probably a delicate clear
ekin.
Clear blues, cinder arey, delicato greens all help to give her an ethereal air, and her colouring is enhanced and thrown into strong relief by the dark oak of the dining room, or the soft tapestry furnishings the lounge.
If, however, a fair-haired girl has brown eyes her skin is probably on the creamy side and will quickly deepen to a yellowish hue if certain colours are worn. She must choose warm bluey greens, venetian red, or chestnut browns that have a hint of red. The sketch on the top left shows a fur-trimmined
